After CM Punk’s departure from the promotion, there have been reports about Ace Steel, a former WWE wrestler, and his involvement with AEW.
He gained attention due to a backstage altercation that occurred after the 2022 All Out event. As a close friend of Punk, Steel allegedly bit Kenny Omega during their argument and threw a chair at Nick Jackson. Despite this incident, he was reportedly re-hired by the promotion and has since been taking on behind-the-scenes responsibilities.
During a recent media event after All Out, Tony Khan discussed CM Punk’s release. However, he did not mention anything about Ace Steel’s involvement with AEW.
While reports suggest that Steel is still affiliated with the promotion, his employment status has not been officially confirmed. Recent reports from Mike Johnson of PWInsider shed some light on the situation.
It is rumored that Ace Steel remains a member of AEW and was not present in London during the backstage altercation involving Punk and Perry.

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently discussed the behind-the-scenes altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry at All In.
Nash discussed the situation during a Kliq This episode and stated that Punk needs serious assistance.
“Honest to God, I mean, this is in all seriousness, what I take from this whole thing is he needs serious help. He needs mental help. When it becomes destructive, when there’s a chance this costs you millions of dollars and you just continue to push and push and push. They have to [let him go]. I’ll tell you right now man, if I would have broke in and saw some motherfu**er doing that sh*t, I would have said, ‘Oh if he can get away with that, well fu**, then I’m going to do it,” Nash said.
